    Hi Maytaurus nice to see you. I just love reading your posts, so much going on in them,you are a :staradmin

    gingernutmeg - ooo clever you, just had a look at your IS hats, they are really good and lovely and colourful :T

    mrs-moneypenny - havent tried the LH site yet will go take a look, not done the quiz yet either, but I dont go through the site for that I bookmarked it to save time. I'm a bit rubbish at it at the mo it takes me longer than anybody else to do it :o never mind it gets the "little grey cells" working ;)

    f1widow - I dont understand what you mean about the backing :confused: the one I do is knitted all in one and has no backing. Its raining here today as well after such a lovely day yesterday, just can't depend on the weather at all, it's really :p

    Better go get sorted back later

    from Maytaurus's post,that she kindly did for us, if you havent looked before there are loads of pattern and tutorial links to have a look through.

    There are 2 boob patterns, the one I use is the first one, (geocities) its under the link for Shelley's Preemies site.
    Hope this works I am not good at links :o

    Well, there I was thinking I broke the Loving Hands forum and here it might have been someone else -oops, sorry!

    Aeshna, if its raining put on some lovely music shut the curtains, light the fire and just knit.........easy, shame life isn't quite like that tho'.

    PippaS- you beat me on the BOOB JOB link - by the way I have done one pair but wasn't keen.

    Maytaurus, the links for the face cloth folding is brilliant I have already practiced on my own and they are now arranged around the sink in the bathroom.looking very cute, I just hope that the knitted cotton ones work as well.

    Mrs Moneypenny - I know you didn't break the Loving Hands forum it was most probably one of those wee internet gremlins. good luck for some real sun at the weekend. Oh I suspect Maytaurus has a brain and makes a list of what to answer on her posts - but if I tried that I would get in a right cuffuffle (sp).

    f1widow - hope you find the easy peasy BOOB JOB pattern - if I can follow it anyone can

    gingernutmeg - what a fine selection of wee hats, you obviously have lots of different coloured wool - unlike me with the yuk green being prominent in my selection, I promise the minute I hit the UK I will buy some different colours of DK wool

    Hope everybody who is unwell is soon all better
    Off for coffee then I think a bit of knitting, well you see its raining here, might even light the fire oh bliss

    f1 widow - what's this iron malarkie? I understand the cupboard with the dishes/water in, who invented the iron/cupboard thingie - I want one, where do I buy it, is there a long waiting list for it, how much does it cost? Bet it isn't available in rural Brittany - where boiler suits and pinnies are all the latest craze and I can confirm I have both - fetching eh -
    Jean in France - not up to much today
